I don't think that any of the players would be better than a third piece in any trade this winter, they're in High A, and everybody knows it's a hitter's league even if they don't know the degree to which it's a hitter's park in Adelanto.  I think the best course of action would be to roll the dice on them at AA as happened with Alex Liddi who likely could have been bundled off in the Cliff Lee deal.  If even one of them succeeds in West Tenn, then that player will be as the three of them together. 
Also, there was an article a month or so ago in which Dr. Elliot referred specifically to Kyle Seager (and Rich Poythress I think but don't remember for sure) as players that embraced his program fully and in which the results were as expected (improved 'explosiveness' and the like).  Maybe he was cherry picking, but then maybe the exercise routine Dr. Elliot has come up with actually produces significant results and helps players achieve their top percentile.  It's for that reason that I don't think we'll see a lot of minor league players move this season (in addition to the unlikeliness of competition in 2011).
